Will portcheckout get the correct content if used? In response to a question I posted previously someone said that I could get cvsup to do the same thing portcheckout does using this format of the cvsup command. Cvsup -g -l2 -I ports/www/lynx /etc/cvsupfile Where -I contains the make files you want to download. This does not work for me. As usually the man page contains insufficient information to be of any help. How can I just download selected port make files using cvsup?
